I'd assumed any IP range blocking would be higher up the line, say - at Digital Forest.

ISPs will sometimes block a range of IPs, or a domain - in my case Sympatico - if they've received spam from that range. It's a lot quicker than hunting down a specific individual or IP...let the offender's ISP sort it out if they want any of their customers to have access.

In my case, I figured it's a range of IPs that's blocked - somewhere - because my IP is dynamic, though it appears to be in a set range 69.xx.xx.xx to 70.xx.xx.xx. The anon. proxy I use is 170.xx.xx.xx.
